In early May, 2019, Inflectra, and its partner Coveros, co-sponsored the annual Agile in Government Summit organized by National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA). This is Inflectra's second time sponsoring the event that traditionally takes place on the beautiful campus of Gallaudet University in Washington, DC.

Inflectra is excited to support ASQF @Berlin - a Berlin/Brandenburg-based meet-up group dedicated to developing and securing software and system quality. The group's first, Inflectra-sponsored meetup will take place on January 26th, 2019 in Potsdam.

As the winter holidays approach, we are looking for new ways to give back to communities around us.

So this holiday season, Inflectra is sponsoring Meetup Mashup for a Cause, an initiative by Washington DC Scrum User Group. The event is in support of Homestretch - a program that helps address the root causes of homelessness and strives to reverse homelessness for families participating in the program.

Meetup Mashup for a Cause will take place on Monday, December 17, 2018, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM at the Arlington Tech Exchange.

Well, other than geography (both are in North America, and are predominantly English-language groups), they also are the proud recipients of an Inflectra sponsorship in 2018!

Knox QA and Bluegrass IIBA Chapter in Lexington, KY are volunteer-run groups that strive to build the community of practice centered around professional excellence in tech, business management and analytics. They both have a vibrant local following, and an active meet-up culture that is nurturing, inclusive and supportive. That is why Inflectra is helping the two groups by rewarding their hard work and enthusiasm.

Europe’s fun and wildly popular agile testing festival is coming to North America this June 25–29 as Agile Testing Days USA (https://well.tc/wejy). The conference will be a festival of learning and sharing for the community. The agile-focused learning experience will provide an interactive way to get deep insights and the latest developments in testing and agile excellence as well as many opportunities to network with fellow passionate agile software professionals. We hope you will be able to join the inaugural event in Boston!

Over the years, we at Inflectra, developed a taste for all the fun that takes place at software testing and agile software development events. We have also become active members of national and international tester communities. We love to share our knowledge as software engineers and learn from your experience as testers, developers and managers.

So, the new year brings new opportunities for Inflectra to get up close and personal with software testing peeps out there.

Apart from continuing with our now-traditional weekly webinars (a good way to meet new people), we have made plans to meet software testing superheros and agile gurus during the following events in the first half of 2018:

Social Testing - Washington, DC

STPCon - Newport Beach, CA

ISTC & DevGeekWeek - Israel

Agile Testing Days USA - Boston, MA

So if you are planning on attending one of these events, stop by to say hi!
